Bio
UK landlord since 1989.
Founder of Property118.com - the mission statement of which is “to facilitate the sharing of best practice among UK landlords and associated professionals”
I live in Portugal, but I am very much British with a UK property rental and development business.
Happy to be interviewed on your Podcast, your YouTube channel and other online events.
I don’t offer mentoring or training as I am semi-retired and enjoying a fantastic work/life balance, but I do comment, frequently publish articles and answer questions posted here on Property118.

Where are those of you that sold investing your sale proceeds, and what rate of return are you getting? I’m getting 8% to 10% per annum fixed on two year bonds and I’m interested to learn whether anyone is getting...

Every single day, we help landlords consider all of the options for scenarios just like this one. There's only so much anybody can get from answers on a forum. A 30-minute initial discussion with a Property118 consultant will be enough...

Where are these people getting their evidence from? Our research suggests otherwise - see https://www.property118.com/results-of-the-property118-landlord-sentiment-survey-q1-2026/

Reply to the comment left by Robert H at 03/04/2026 - 16:56Lenders and RGI insurers are likely to have far more influence with Government than a few landlords waving signs ever would.

That’s why I think RGI is more important than ever these days

Reply to the comment left by Neil Alphonso at 10:45 The theory is good but getting people to donate is incredibly hard work in itself. We know this from experience. See https://www.property118.com/support-uk-landlords/ We also know that Shelter spend around a...

Reply to the comment left by Neil Alphonso at 03/04/2026 - 10:22I agree, but we are struggling with resources, not just financial but time. We need help. Any ideas? If just a fraction of the landlords who partictipated in the...

Reply to the comment left by Ryan Stevens at 02/04/2026 - 17:16I have been one of those for well over a decade, which possibly goes some way to explaining why I'm bald 😂

In my opinion, these are exactly the right questions to be asking, even if it makes a few people uncomfortable. The reality is that when a tenant stops behaving in a tenant-like manner, the practical options available to landlords are...

Reply to the comment left by Lee Chapman at 01/04/2026 - 10:52The only other logical explanations I can think of are that you unsubscribed from Property118 Newsletters or previously unsubscribed from receiving SurveyMonkey emails.

Noted, that's a good point for us to consider adding to our Q2 survey

Understood, but our survey software can only read statistical data. We are anticipating around 2,000 responses, so a few quirks in possible answers should not vastly affect the results.

Reply to the comment left by Ian Denston at 31/03/2026 - 13:07We will definitely bear that in mind for future surveys. Thank you for your suggestion. Over 500 surveys were completed within an hour of the launch.
